A Perfect Life Finished.
At 1:30 o'clock on Monday night
there came an earthly end to a short
but beautiful life, when Willie Sul
livan Peak passed out from the con
fines of a limited existence to a land
eternal and full of joy. Willie was
born in September, 1900, and had
lived all her life in Edgefield. She
had been from her childhood on an
example of energy and studiousness,
with wholesome ambition for an edu
cation and to do the best things in
life.
As a little girl she was not?d for
faithfulness at Sunday school, never
missing a single day for more than
seven years. She was a continual
prize winner in her classes for
scholarship and attendance.
In her graded and high school ca
reer she was always among the very
first in scholarship. Having finish
ed two years with honors at Win
throp College she was taken ill more
than a year ago. First she had influ
enza during her last winter at col
lege, but had apparently recovered
and was looking well when she re
turned for the vacation.
When the Students' Entertain
ment began in 1918, she took part in
reading, being gifted in this art,
and in 1919 when the rehearsals be
gan, she was one of the first to come
and to take part enthusiastically.
Before the time had arrived for this
to take place,, she had been taken
very ill with fever, partially recover
ing from that and going to the State
Sanitorium- in Columbia where she
remained for the fall and winter
months.
In the spring she came home, and
was surrounded by her devoted fath
er and mother and her affectionate
sisters. and little brother, ? who gave
pt their best to her comfort and
cheer. She said before her death that
her favorite passages of Scripture
were "I am the way, the truth and
the Life," and "In my Father's house
are many mansions."
Willie was 19 years of age, which
reminds us of the life of Mary Wil
lard, the beautiful sister of Frances
Willard. Miss Willard wrote a biog
raphy of this dearly beloved sister,
and called it "Nineteen Beautiful
Years."
Willie became a member of the
church when she was seven years of
age and was baptized by Dr. C. E.
Burts. The last words she said were
"Oh Mother," as she was drifting
out into that beautiful land beyond
the stars "where the weary are at
rest."
The sympathy of all the communi
t}' and the county where Mr. and
Mrs. Peak are known, go out to
these bereaved parents and sisters,
Mrs. P. H. Bussey, Mrs. Otis Mob
ley, Mrs. David Britton and Miss
Royall, and the little brother, Ed
ward.
The funeral was conducted from
the Baptist church by her pastor,
Dr. R. G. Lee who came in his car
from Gray Court, where he is con
ducting a meeting to be present.
The pall bearers were Messrs.
Walter Cantelou, Claud Harris, Fran
eis Simkins, William Strom, William
Thumond and Douglas Timmerman.
A wealth of beautiful flowers cov
ered the casket and^he front of the
pulpit, designs having been sent by
the Young Woman's Auxiliary, of
which she was a member, the Wo
man's Missionary Union, Daughters
of the Revolution, Woman's Chris
tian Tempeance Union and Daugh
ters of the Confederacy, of which
organizations her mother is a mem
ber. Many beautiful floral designs
were there from her family v and
friends an agve evidence of the val
jfc-iends and gave evidence of the val
ue which the community placed upon
this life of "Nineteen Beautiful
Years."
Candidate for Magistrate.
In our candidates' column this
week will be found the announce
ment of Mr. J. M. Holland as a can
didate for magistrate of the 4th dis
trict. Judge Pardue will not offer

young man, an adopted son of Edge
field county, who is highly esteemed
and has the confidence of all who
know him. He will do his utmost to
render exact justice in the discharge
of his duties as magistrate of the
4th district.
Candidate for Magistrate.
There are now two candidates for
magistrate in the 5th district, the
second, candidate being Mr. M. E.
Sunimerall . who announces in The
Advertiser's columns .this week. Mr.
Summerall has friends who will give
him their support in his candidacy.
Between this time and the election
he will meet with the people of his
district, and he will tell them in per
son of his purpose to render satis
factory service if elected to serve
the people of the 5th district.

The president knows more abou
internal affairs than any one
know, and I am here to counsel wit
him," said the governor.
"It will be the first time," he add
ed, "that I have seen him since hi
illness, but our relations have alway
been very cordial."
Talks With Hitchcock.
The league of nations also was-th
main subject of a conference ar
ranged by the governor with Sena

lations committee and administra
tion spokesman in the senate treat;
fight.
"I wish to learn what Senato:
Hitchcock thinks about these sub
jects in connection with the cam
paign," said the governor.
Asked if he would discuss' prohi
bition with Senator Sheppard o:
Texas, the governor smilingly re
plied:
"I wouldn't be surprised if th<
conversation didn't drift that way.'
Governor Cox said he had serve(
in the house with Senator Sheppan
and that he expected, while in Wash
ington, to see other former housi
colleagues. >>i
Another conference arranged bj
Governor Cox was with Victor Mur

it referred to the high cost of living
profiteering and "other subjects ol
considerable economic importance.'
The governor reiterated that h(
would go into every state, and saic
specifically that he expected to visit
the Southern states.
"I think it should be very gracious
to go there, although not necessary,
of course, he remarked.
Soon Starts Speaking.
Until he meets the Democratic
national committee Tuesday at Co
lumbus, Governor Cox said he would
not announce his travelling plans
more definitely. "No arrangements,"
he added "have been made with Mr.
Roosevelt for divisionof territory."
I plan to start soon at once. I
mean by that very soon after the
ceremony of notification and accep
tance," said the governor. "I expect
this will be in the early part of Au
gust, but, of course, the members of
the national committee may have
other ideas, and I will respect their
suggestions. But I expect to start
sneaking practically at once."
Criticisms of his touring plans
were mentioned and Governor Cox
replied:
"I can see nothing undignified in
carrying the cause to the people."
The governor said he hoped and
expected that President Wilson
would aid materially in the cam

"If not by speeches, by state
ments."

Death of Mrs Cornelia Glover.
On Wednesday of last week Mrs.
Cornelia Glover died at the home of
her only daughter, Mrs. R. C. Pad
gett, having ben an invalid for sev
eral years. She had also been denied
for some/years the privilege of sight
but was always cheerful and hospit
able when friends called, never fail
ing to show appreciation of a visit.
About two years ago she had a
slight stroke of paralysis, and had
never fully recovered from this, two
succeeding ones having occurred,
the last one only a few weeks ago.
Mrs. Glover was 72 years of age,
and a member of the Catholic chuch,
her funeral having been conducted
at this church by Father Ford of
Aiken, and her remains interred in
the Village cemetery by her own re
quest.
During the years of her invalidism
she spent most of her time with her
daughter, Mrs. Padgett, where she
received the most devoted attention
and affection.
Mrs. Glover was born near Pine
Bluff, Arkansas and met her hus
band, Mr. Mitchell 0. Glover when
he visited that section on business.
After her marriage she spent most
of her life in the Meriwether section
of Edgefield, for a few years living
in Augusta to send her children to
school. Mrs. Glover was said to have
been a beautiful young woman.
Besides Mrs. Padgett, three sons,
Messrs John and Mitchell of North
Augusta and Wilie, of Sweetwater
community are left to mourn her
loss.
Death of Mrs. Lavinia Wright.
Our Johnston correspondent gives
a full account of the sad passing
away of Mrs. Wright, but we are
adding a few words. It was a great
shock and grief to Mrs. Allie Kin
naird to learn by a messenger from
Johnston that her beloved mother
had passed away suddenly on Wed
nesday evening at the supper table,
being perfectly well as far as any
one knew up to that time. Mrs. Kin
naird left Edgefield for Johnston at
ll o'clock, having attended prayer
meeting, not knowing of her moth
er's death. Her death was so sudden
that even the doctor did not reach
her in time
